The Therianthropic statuette (Löwenmensch)
from the Hohlenstein-Stadel cave, Ca. 30,000-26,000 BCE.
31 centimetres tall.
Ccarved from mammoth ivory it stands as the oldest known example of figurative art.
Discovered in a cave in Germany, this enigmatic sculpture merges human and animal features in a way that challenges understanding—both hauntingly familiar and strikingly otherworldly.
It offers a profound glimpse into the creative genius of early humans, hinting at their capacity for imagination and symbolic thought.
Remarkably, the Lion-man predates the advent of known written language by more than 30,000 years. To put that in perspective, it is older than Stonehenge by tens of thousands of years.
This ancient artifact showcases an extraordinary leap in artistic expression, marking one of the earliest examples of humans conveying complex ideas long before written records existed.

During the ice ages, between 2.6 million and 11,700 years ago, more than 50 different elephant relatives still roamed the globe—including mammoths and mastodons. But by the end of that period, extinctions had wiped out most giant mammals across the world. Today, only three elephant species remain: African savanna elephants, African forest elephants, and Asian elephants.

Richard Westall (1765-1836) "Nelson and the Bear" (1809) Oil on panel Located in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London
The painting depicts an incident in 1773 involving Horatio Nelson, then a fifteen-year-old midshipman accompanying a polar expedition to try and find the Northwest Passage. Nelson and a friend were attacked by a polar bear, Nelson's musket misfired and he reversed it to try and beat the bear off with the butt end. His life was likely saved when the ice split in two separating him from the animal. In the background is the bomb vessel HMS Carcass on which Nelson was a crew member. One of the ship's guns is seen firing in an attempt to scare off the bear. It omits the presence of Nelson's comrade, showing him confidently standing up to the bear alone.

'The Snettisham Great Torc', Iron Age Torc, The British Museum, London
This torc was discovered in 1950, in a field near the village of Snettisham. The site is on the north-west coast of Norfolk, overlooking the Wash.
This torc is one of the most elaborate golden objects from the ancient world. It is made from an alloy of gold, silver and copper, and weighs over 1 kg. The neck-ring is made from 64 wires in eight separate coils. The ends are elaborately decorated with swirling motifs.
The torc was probably buried around 50 BCE.

Iceland was so fucking cool btw
#It's got such incredible landscapes there's just nothing else like it.#Cool history museums too.#The only bad experience I had was the 3km long one lane tunnel which like I was prepared for in theory because I researched the#driving conditions but is still terrifying in practice compounded by the fact that a lot of your fellow tourists don't fucking bother and#are doing stupid ass shit on the roads like not yielding in the side of the one lane tunnel that is supposed to yield.#Thought I was in hell#It's cool how long some of the tunnels are though . I bypassed the biggest one because tolls but hit that 7km one north of Reykjavík that#goes under the ocean. It's just crazy being In A Tunnel for that long#Also briefly passed through part of the highlands on a mountain pass road which was also kind of scary like I'm used to driving on#snow and ice but not with the 40 mph wind and switchbacks and steep edges that you will Die So Badly if you drive off.#I had a great time though I'm so glad I was able to do this
